Erasmus+ Mobility from Vrije University, Netherlands (14-21st April, 2024)

The Centre for Innovative Teaching and Learning (CITL) at Royal Thimphu College, in collaboration with VU Amsterdam's Centres for International Cooperation and Teaching and Learning, recently conducted a 2-day Systemic Coaching workshop. Facilitated by Mr. Jaro Pichel, MSc. from VU, Amsterdam,  the programme enhanced leadership skills among RTC staff through listening exercises, demonstrations, and role plays. 

CITL and VU Amsterdam's Centre for Teaching and Learning conducted a 3-day “Blended Learning and AI in Education” workshop. Led by Mr. Luuk Terbeek from VU Amsterdam, the training brought together educators from Norbuling Rigter College (NRC) and RTC. It provided insights into designing and implementing effective blended learning and increasing AI literacy, allowing participants to seize opportunities and recognise the threats of AI in education.

Erasmus Teaching Mobility from University of Girona, Spain (July 20th to 27th, 2024)

It was a pleasure to host Ms. Carolina Ines Aldao, a Tourism Specialist and a Research Assistant from University of Girona, Spain at the Royal Thimphu College for a week. During her stay, she introduced RTC Business faculty members and a few participants from the Tourism sector to “Tourism in Spain” and her ongoing research on “Management, Vulnerability and Resilience in Tourism from a Post Humanist Perspective”. Tourism has played a vital role in boosting Bhutan’s economy and learning more about Tourism is a bonus added to our knowledge pool. She also visited the Department of Tourism and Amen Tours and Treks, further helping her understand Bhutan's Tourism Management. Erasmus has always helped broaden the horizons of both the incoming guests and the members of our college.

 

Note from Carolina: 

I had the pleasure of being hosted by Royal Thimphu College. The moment I landed at Paro International Airport, I had the impression of being fully immersed in pristine and peaceful green surroundings. RTC is perfectly located with unique scenery where the mountains complement nature with excellent facilities. The whole RTC staff made me feel very special as Bhutanese people are welcoming, calm and kind. In addition, I had the opportunity to visit temples, and cultural attractions, to do the trekking to Tiger's Nest and to feel like a local by wearing the "Kira", the national dress, which I completely fell in love with. I loved how tradition, religion and nature open the path to connect people as a cooperative, friendly and peaceful community

Faculty Learning Communities (FLCs)

FLCs are collaborative groups where faculty members from various disciplines collaborate to enhance their teaching practices, share experiences, and foster interdisciplinary collaboration. Through regular meetings and peer feedback, participants will engage in meaningful discussions, explore new teaching strategies, and develop innovative approaches to improve student learning and success. Whether you’re looking to integrate new technologies, improve student engagement, or simply connect with your colleagues, FLCs provide a supportive environment for continuous professional growth.
